Here’s another low-fat low-calorie snack, if you’re going that route.

Basically it’s just a box of cake mix (they have lower-sugar ones which will help your cause a little) mixed with a can of pumpkin puree.

These are the first ones I made. It’s devil’s food cake mix, and I mixed in the pumpkin by hand, which was VERY difficult. I recommend using a mixer. They turned out lumpy looking because the mixture was so thick but they tasted good and the texture is very moist, somewhat like a fudgey brownie.

After that, I used low-sugar white cake mix, my electric mixer, the pumpkin puree, and a bit of water to thin the batter some. I also added spices to these. Cinnamon, cloves, a bit of allspice… they still had the fudgey texture, but these were lighter due to the water.

See how fluffy that is?

One box of cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree will make a dozen muffins at about 130 calories each. If you add a bit more water to the mixture you can get about 14-15 muffins.
